Hashcat does not attack online targets. You must already possess the hash.
Sorry for asking several questions, i am still a noob. If I want to crack an email password. Hash = email or password?
you cant "crack" an emailpassword when you dont know the passwordhash
mostly passwordhashes are obtained from so called breaches, when some "hackers" are able to get access to lets say the database from any website/forum whatsoever
then they can see lets say username:passwordhash directly in the database and then they could be able to crack it
no database no passwordhash no cracking
when you try to login into a webseite, your given password is hashed inside your browser (mostly), send to the webseite and simple compared to the stored hash in the database, equal okay login sucsessful, but the website will never "tell" you the stored hash inside the database by default (thats the reason why you will need the hash from some breach)
So I need to get the data base of the email by using breaches so I can get the passwordhash and then I can get the password?

more or less yes
but it would be very very very unlikely to get a database dump from any of the great email providers
most* breaches are old websites, forums and little shops, then you could get email:pwhash, crack the hash and try wether the password is also used to login into the email itself (most humans are lazy and use their passwords more than once) or not
*of cource there where some really big breaches too
